You want to talk about a real betrayal? Look no further than Doc Rivers. He took off out of nowhere, like he couldn’t get out of Boston fast enough. At least with Ray Allen – because of how tumultuous his time in Boston had become – his departure in free agency that summer was not just understandable, but inevitable.

Sounds like you’d be a perfect candidate for the Fins G.M. job. I remember the Heat back in the Glenn Rice and Matt Geiger days. I’m guessing you don’t.

Sun, 26 Jan 2014 21:13:37 +0000https://nbcprobasketballtalk.wordpress.com/?p=692778#comment-270700If you’re also wondering why AInge would have to trade Pierce, Pierce’s contract put Ainge in a tight spot. If Ainge chose to retain Pierce for the final year of his contract that season he would have to pay alot more than what many thought was unreasonable under the circumstances and would hinder the team’s flexabilty and chance to rebuild the team.

Sun, 26 Jan 2014 21:05:09 +0000https://nbcprobasketballtalk.wordpress.com/?p=692778#comment-270699@miamiheatdynasty You see that’s exactly the problem. You fans of other teams don’t know the entire situation as proven by your 1st comment. All you guys saw was the Trade the day it happened and saw that KG had a No-Trade Clause that he waived.

But if you had followed the Deal the whole entire time it was developing you would know that Ainge wanted to go in a different direction, he wanted to start the rebuild so he was likely to move Pierce regardless if the Nets trade went through or not. Pierce knew this too, so when the Nets trade was proposed Pierce would rather get traded somewhere where KG would be coming along with him then if he got traded somewhere alone later on.

KG was against the Trade initially, it was Pierce who had to convince him, he said it took awhile. He said one day he had to call him and he was literally on the phone with him for hours before finally getting him to come come around to it. So No, they did not force their way out of Boston that makes zero sense. and it is a different situation then Ray’s who left willingly and happily.

Sun, 26 Jan 2014 20:33:58 +0000https://nbcprobasketballtalk.wordpress.com/?p=692778#comment-270688Delusional. The Celtics wanted to rebuild and part of that was moving these two, still useful, but older players. PP and KG will recieve a heroes welcome at the Garden today.

Sun, 26 Jan 2014 20:26:03 +0000https://nbcprobasketballtalk.wordpress.com/?p=692778#comment-270687Miami you must be one of those heat fans that left the playoff game last year in the middle of a great comeback.

He eventually waived his no trade clause after Paul Pierce harassed/begged him to do so. He also accepted the trade because he knew it would benefit the Celtics.

Ray Allen shouldn’t be scorned for his decision, but to say the KG/Pierce and Ray Allen situations are similar, is just crazy.

You sound ridiculous because you clearly know close to nothing about the situation. As someone who watched it all unfold I can tell you exactly how it went down and your take is not even close.

Neither KG nor Pierce forced their way out. As for Allen, he made the right decision for himself by choosing not to resign with Boston.

The Garden should be rocking tonight to cheer on 2 Great Celtics.
